8 Weeks To Adventure!
Give us eight weeks and we will prepare you for overland adventure. Each week moves you one step forward to a full outdoor adventure.
Week 1: Get Out!
Let’s start small with a picnic. This is a micro version of camping and helps you start assembling some of the essentials.
Week 2: Every Day Carry
Your picnic backpack from week 1 formed the basis of a "go-bag", a bag that travels with you and has the basics for hiking, camping, and emergencies. Get your picnic bag, and let's add a few more things.
Week 3: Backyard Camping
The best way to get everyone comfortable with camping is to start in your own backyard!
Week 4: Tune-Up
Make sure your car will get you there... and back!
